The time has come for me to retire from the active practice of law. My last day of practice before retirement will be March 31, 2016.

I have worked with my partner, Srinoi G. Rousseau , and Office Manager/Paralegal, Deirdre O’Connell, at Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP for many years. So there will be people in whom I have complete confidence, to look after you. Beginning with my retirement, the firm will be known as the Law Office of Srinoi G. Rousseau, and will be located at 1001 Marina Village Pkwy Ste 400, Alameda CA 94501-6401. The fax number will also change, to 510-523-7279, but the phone number will remain 510-465-3885.

After 34 years in practice, I will miss my colleagues and my clients. Fortunately I am in good health and prepared to pursue other interests, but such transitions are never easy.

Thank you for your confidence in me and in this firm. It has been a pleasure and privilege to work with you. I wish you the very best that life has to offer.

Honored eight times. Partners Katherine A. Montgomery and Srinoi G. Rousseau of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP, have been designated again as Northern California Super Lawyers.

We haven’t been spending our time updating our web site, but we are working hard for our clients and their loved ones. We’re a group of people who believe in keeping the high cost of legal representation as low as possible.

We have a new conservatorship client, who hired us in place of their previous counsel. We were shocked to see the fee request that attorney submitted, and was awarded by the Court. It was in the neighborhood of $33,000 to establish an uncontested conservatorship and settle the first account. If we charged those types of fees, it would make it impossible for us to sleep at night. We charge a fraction of that outrageous fee and feel it is a duty and responsiblity to save the money for the care of the conserved person.

Katherine is super yet again! Srinoi is super yet again!

Honored again. Partners Katherine A. Montgomery and Srinoi G. Rousseau of Camp Rousseau Montgomery, LLP, have been designated as Northern California Super Lawyers. Katherine and Srinoi have been included each year, beginning in 2008.

We haven’t been spending our time updating our web site, but we are still here, with our heads down, working hard for our clients. We’re a group of people who believe in keeping the high cost of legal representation as low as possible.

One small example: we make extraordinary efforts to settle a matter on the first date scheduled by the Court (the alternative is known as “continuing” a hearing, and puts it off to a later date, usually 6 weeks in the future). This may seem a trivial thing, but it avoids hourly charges to our clients for traveling to a hearing, waiting for the case to be called, appearing before the Judge, and traveling back to the office. In order to accomplish this, we strive to have our petitions “pregranted” by the Court, i.e., the Court finds no issue with the petition and issues the Order without the costly necessity of an appearance. In the cases where the Court does have questions, they typically make those known a day or two before the hearing. Rather than continue the hearing, we drop everything and draft a “clearing declaration” to address the Court’s concerns, get our client’s signature on it, and file it with the Court, usually on the same day. This is just one of the many ways we strive to protect the interests of our clients — both legal and financial.
